How to eat meat healthily

　　Excessive consumption of meat is not good, but from a nutritional point of view, giving up meat is not a way to maintain health. A balanced diet is what we advocate. Meat is generally divided into three categories: livestock, poultry and aquatic products. Pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. are livestock, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. are poultry, and fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc. are aquatic products. The three types of meat have different tastes and nutrients, and are suitable for different people.

　　Beef, the strongest meat

　　Beef is most suitable for those who are physically weak and mentally retarded. The amino acid composition of beef protein is closer to the needs of the human body than that of pork. It can improve the body's disease resistance.

Chicken is good for malnutrition, fear of cold, weakness and fatigue, Irregular menstruation It has a good therapeutic effect on diseases such as , anemia and weakness.

　　Fish and shrimp, the meat with the most trace elements

　　Fish and shrimp are extremely rich in trace elements, including calcium, aluminum, iron, manganese, copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc, iodine, chlorine, sulfur, etc., all of which are necessary for the human body. Although aquatic products are rich in nutrients, it is not advisable to eat too much. Affected by marine pollution, aquatic products often contain toxins and harmful substances.
